Baking pork chops at 400 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal for getting them brown on the outside without overcooking the center; a seared pork chop will reach medium in about seven to eight minutes.
Concerns around slightly pink pork are outdated, allowing cooks to enjoy medium and medium-rare options; using a meat thermometer is crucial to avoid overcooking.
When cooking entirely in the oven, pork chops can take from 12 to 16 minutes to reach medium doneness, depending on thickness, especially at the recommended temperature.
For best results, aim for a pork chop thickness between ¾ and 1 inch for optimal cooking without losing juiciness; cut back cooking times for medium-rare.
